ITEM 8.01 Other Events

On June 23, 2015, the Board of Directors of BB&T Corporation (the “Company”) authorized a new stock repurchase program (the “Program”) to repurchase up to 50 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  Repurchases under the Program may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions.  The timing and exact amount of repurchases will be consistent with the Company’s capital plan and subject to various factors, including the Company’s capital position, liquidity, financial performance, alternative uses of capital, stock trading price, and general market conditions, and may be suspended at any time.  Shares that are repurchased pursuant to the Program will constitute authorized but unissued shares of the Company and will therefore be available for future issuances.  The Program replaces a stock repurchase plan approved in June 2006, which authorized the Company to repurchase up to 50 million shares of its common stock.
